Wow, you pivot a lot. The power consumption of data centers as a whole in the US was ~5% of total in 2024. But they are definitely guzzling water, no doubt about that. It’d be nice if we still had environmental regulatory agencies with teeth to force better cooling methods. Doug Forcett comes to mind.
I don’t input anything that I care about them spying on. As for brain rot, we’re on social media, aren’t we?
If you’re using one of the LLMs to search, you can just twirl out the source list and click through to the pages it found relevant to your prompt. In my experience, it pulls a better list of links than DDG or Google. You can just ignore the summary it writes.

The definition of AI has now fundamentally changed.
“The AI effect” refers to a phenomenon where either the definition of AI or the concept of intelligence is adjusted to exclude capabilities that AI systems have mastered.
There’s intention in a prompt. Death of the Author makes the case for valuing interpretation over intention anyway.

35·20 days agoindustry associations and individual businesses […] argued the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule. The judge panel has agreed with them.
Three judges — two appointed by President Trump, one by President George H. W. Bush — found that the FTC’s rulemaking process was flawed and did not include early analysis of the rule’s possible economic effects. [1]

The arches of our feet stretch unevenly as we age. For some people, this causes one foot to pronate more than the other, which leads to a functional leg length discrepancy, which causes a knee to turn in, the hips to tilt, the spine to develop a functional scoliosis, one shoulder to drop, causing neck pain, etc. It’s called the kinetic chain, and unfortunately it’s been hovered up as a chiropractic talking point. But it can often be corrected with custom shoe inserts that can also help with balance. On the flip side, you then become reliant on those things and your back is weaker without em. So ya know, nothing’s simple, I guess.
Speaking as a professional “creative”, art and profit are antithetical. I’ll be happy to see the relationship end.
The UK food laws may be partially to blame. But American junk food has also degraded over the decades. A twinkie from the 30’s-70’s didn’t taste the same as a modern twinkie, with some unknown portion of its sugar replaced by HFCS. But at least sugar is still the first ingredient in a twinkie. Plenty of other iconic junk food has been engineered into nonsense and just rides on the fumes of its former glory.
